			<h1>Esperanto accents in Minetest are a go</h1>
			<p>Day 00150: Tuesday, 2015 August 04</p>

<p>
	I was looking through the Minetest forums today when I found something interesting in a post by 4aiman.
	Though the subgame he is posting about is proprietary, and therefor of no interest whatsoever, he has run into the same problem as I have as far as non-<abbr title="American Standard Code for Information Interchange">ASCII</abbr> characters not displaying properly in Minetest.
	It turns out that there is a workaround! He suggests using the <code>locale-gen</code> command to set up a second locale, then selling the system to tell Minetest that that is the locale in use.
	My system appears to lack the <code>locale-gen</code> command though, so I looked up <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/Locale">Debian-specific instructions</a>.
	The down side to the instructions I found is that they set the locale system-wide.
	Furthermore, the effect does not seem to be reversible; I cannot set my locale back to its original state.
	The problem is that I had chosen to use no localization, and it seems that as long as the system has a locale set up, it will not take &quot;no localization&quot; as an answer.
	Oh well.
	At least now I can see properly-accented Esperanto node names in Minetest.
</p>

	Yesterday, when I bought that album from Marc With a C, I made the dire mistake of not checking the license beforehand.
	While I&apos;ve never seen any of Marc distribute any of his work in a nonfree way, the fact is, he could, and I should be careful.
	Even some artists that seem dedicated to freedom, such as Josh Woodward and Brad sucks, have released some of their work under proprietary licenses.
	As it turns out, Exactly Where I Am is not under his usual <abbr title="Creative Commons Attribution">CC BY</abbr> license.
	However, it <strong>*is*</strong> under the <abbr title="Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike">CC BY-SA</abbr> license, a license I actually prefer, so it all works out this time.
	I should remember to be more careful in the future.
</p>
<p>
	My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
